Regular visits from what I have assumed are 2 or 3 Red Fox cubs to the area around my flat continue.
Last night, compared with several previous nights, I
was woken up at the rather later time of 5:30 a.m. by the "geckering"
of at least 2 Red Foxes with this vocalisation continuing for
several minutes.
Initially, I failed to see them but I then saw a
single Red Fox trot past the flats and disappear down the
side. A few minutes later, I saw another Red Fox sat on the
path outside the houses opposite the flats. It kept looking in the direction of
where its presumed sibling had gone. Eventually, it walked to the side of the
road and had a long drink from a puddle of water before starting to walk towards
the flats. It encountered one of the local cats but both animals completely
ignored each other although they must have been very aware of their
"neighbour".
Surprisingly, this morning's experience continued at 9:25
a.m., when I again heard the "geckering" and vocalisation
of at least 2 Red Foxes in the wooded area beyond the houses
opposite. At the same time, I briefly saw a Red Fox slowly
walking around the grassy footpath that runs adjacent to the flats and the
houses. Therefore, there were at least 3 Red Foxes in the
immediate area of my flat.
